Insulation & Interiors Course description

This Course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to perform a professional home insulation, ventilation system and home interior inspection

Two house systems that affect moisture control in houses are air/vapor barriers and ventilation.

+

Air is a good insulator, so materials with a lot of air voids make good insulators.

+

A “thermal bridge” is where insulation is not continuous, allowing heat to leak out. Wood wall studs form thermal bridges, for example.

+

The most common source of complaints against home inspectors in many areas is wet basements.

+

Stairs, guards and railings often have issues that make them unsafe.

+

Attic air/vapor barriers should always be on the warm side of the insulation.
